buildx new builder do not use proxy settings of default docker daemon.

[kunalkushwaha]

Bug: while trying to build multiarchitecture image using buildx, proxy settings of docker daemon are ignored, resulting unable to download the images.

This is only reproducible in Linux, Docker desktop for Mac works fine.

Steps to be followed

ref: same steps from : docker-for-arm-on-linux

$ docker buildx create --name mybuilder
$ docker buildx use mybuilder
$ docker buildx inspect --bootstrap
$ docker buildx build --platform linux/arm,linux/arm64,linux/amd64 -t timtsai2018/hello .

error:

Only builders backed by docker driver use the docker daemon config. For the container driver you need to either use --buildkitd-flags on create or make a buildkitd toml config and use --config.

@tonistiigi
Would you help me?

I'm behind proxy.
I've already set the proxy setting on ~/.docker/config.json and /etc/systemd/docker/docker.service.d/
Of course, I've already set "experimental": "enabled" in ~/.docker/config.json

And I set DNS settings on /etc/docker/daemon.json

As a result, I'm able to use normally docker behind proxy.
But when I try to use buildx, I stacked:(

Here is my try.

Would you have any idea for this problem?

[tonistiigi]

Container driver does not use the settings from docker daemon config. There isn't currently a way to set proxy settings in buildkit config but it could be added. Or we could just add it to driver-opt in the container level.

An ugly workaround currently is to create a new buildkit image based on moby/buildkit with extra proxy settings in the ENV. And then use buildx create --driver-opt image=yourimage

edit: for clarity. The config currently allows setting mirrors to registries but doesn't allow setting up global HTTP_PROXY variables. If you only need mirrors you can use --config pointing to config file like https://github.com/moby/buildkit/blob/master/docs/buildkitd.toml.md

[sirlatrom]

You can use --driver-opt env.ENV_NAME=ENV_VALUE after #170 was merged.

[spejic88]

@sirlatrom when I use
docker buildx create --driver-opt env.http_proxy=$http_proxy --driver-opt env.https_proxy=$https_proxy --driver-opt '"env.no_proxy='$no_proxy'"'

to set proxy, I get
invalid driver option env.http_proxy for docker-container driver

[sirlatrom]

@sirlatrom when I use
docker buildx create --driver-opt env.http_proxy=$http_proxy --driver-opt env.https_proxy=$https_proxy --driver-opt '"env.no_proxy='$no_proxy'"'

to set proxy, I get
invalid driver option env.http_proxy for docker-container driver

@spejic88: I recommend you open a new issue with a reproducible example, and make sure to specify what component versions are in use.

Sir @tonistiigi ,

I try to use registry mirror in --config=config.toml .

But it seem do not work. it's slowly as usual.

configs and commands as below

config.toml

# registry configures a new Docker register used for cache import or output.

  mirrors = ["wlzfs4t4.mirror.aliyuncs.com"]
  # http = true
  # insecure = true

[colachg]

@tangx I have met this problem too. I have catched the network traffic but find no package to mirror.
@tonistiigi Is there any way to check the buildkitd's configuration inside the pod? (I use buildx kubernetes driver with --config to pass the configuration)

[GMartinez-Sisti]

I'm having the same issue. I'm using the buildx action with:

      - name: Set up Docker Buildx
        id: buildx
        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
        with:
          version: latest
          buildkitd-flags: --config /etc/buildkit/buildkitd.toml

```sh
$ cat /etc/buildkit/buildkitd.toml
[registry."docker.io"]
mirrors = ["nexus.internal.domain"]

```sh
$ cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
    [...]
    "registry-mirrors": ["https://nexus.internal.domain"],
    [...]
}

I can see that the buildx image is pulled from my private registry, but when buildx is trying to pull images it ignores the registry. Example:

error: failed to solve: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = failed to solve with frontend dockerfile.v0: failed to create LLB definition: failed to copy: httpReadSeeker: failed open: unexpected status code https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/alpine/manifests/sha256:69e70a79f2d41ab5d637de98c1e0b055206ba40a8145e7bddb55ccc04e13cf8f: 429 Too Many Requests - Server message: toomanyrequests: You have reached your pull rate limit. You may increase the limit by authenticating and upgrading: https://www.docker.com/increase-rate-limit

I have no idea how to fix this without removing buildx from the build steps. Looks like buildx is ignoring the config, but if I set a wrong key it will complain about it.

############## edit

Looks like my issue is caused by buildkitd-flags: --config /etc/buildkit/buildkitd.toml. I tested it directly with docker buildx create --config /etc/buildkit/buildkitd.toml --use and it works.

@crazy-max in last comment, does setup-buildx-action have a way to configure config. @GMartinez-Sisti If not then you might need to call buildx create inline.

closing because resolved and last comments offtopic
